    Aristotle is considered to be the “father” of modern speaking. He was a Greek philosopher who lived in the 4^th century BC and put forward three rules for public speaking. They are ethos (human character), pathos (emotional appeal) and logos (logical reason). All three should be included in any speech, although Aristotle preferred to follow logical reasoning, saying that:

    “An emotional speaker always makes his audience feel with him, even when there is nothing in his arguments; which is why many speakers try to overwhelm their audience by mere noise.” (as cited on https://mannerofspeaking.org by John Zimmer
